Taskbar to Get "Continuity" Tab for Android Phones

As Windows Latest previously reported, Microsoft is testing a new "Continue from Phone" feature, which we spotted in the Start menu. "Continue from phone" is installed as an app in Windows 11 preview builds, but it doesn’t work at the moment.

For example, if you try to click the app icon, it won’t launch. That’s because Microsoft is still testing the feature, and early references suggest it will allow you to continue your phone-related activities on your PC. As Microsoft watcher Phantom noticed, Microsoft is also adding a shortcut to activate the feature on the taskbar.

There’s a new toggle in the settings that lets you hide the ‘Continue from Phone’ on the taskbar. This seems to confirm deeper Android and taskbar integration, could it be similar to the Phone Link’s continuity feature for Samsung phones? It’s possible, but it looks like the feature will work independently of the Phone Link app. Microsoft is still working on these two taskbar features and Windows Latest understands that they’ll be rolled out to everyone outside the Windows 11 24H2 release.
